Chapter 89: Chu Xuan’s Back!
Upon seeing Liu Zhenxiong's transformation, the lead Gu Master quickly took out a small bottle and activated it with Spiritual Qi. A fragrant scent immediately spread and drifted into the Soul Wolf Killing Array.
Upon inhaling this strange fragrance, Liu Zhenxiong's swollen muscles swiftly weakened, and the black fur receded. In the blink of an eye, he reverted to his human form.
Liu Zhenxiong's expression turned from shock to fury as he roared, "Scattered Blood Fragrance! You know the weakness of the Black Beast Demonic Body! This is impossible!"
He had always been aware of the vulnerability of the Black Beast Demonic Body, but it was highly unlikely that the native sects of Wu Province, far less informed than the righteous five sects, would know it—unless someone had told them.
The lead Gu Master cackled, "Liu Zhenxiong, Li Xuanming, right? You have quite the junior brother."
Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong's expressions drastically changed. They now had a good idea why their weaknesses were known so clearly to the Gu Masters of Ironwire Mountain.
"Chen Zhaofeng, show yourself!" Li Xuanming shouted angrily.
"Well, well, why the necessity to see me, senior brothers?" came the voice of Chen Zhaofeng from behind a large tree. Then, he emerged slowly under the furious gazes of Li Xuanming and the others.
The lead Gu Master respectfully said, "Senior Brother Chen, they are like fish in a barrel now. As we agreed earlier, these people are for you to deal with."
Liu Zhenxiong, furious, said, "Chen Zhaofeng! We came all this way to rescue you, and you turn on us?"
Li Xuanming took a deep breath, "Tell me, why!"
Chen Zhaofeng smiled slightly, "Because I am now a disciple of the Thousand Insects Sect. Moreover, I am the chief disciple under the Golden Core Grandmaster Hundred Gu Daoist. I can take and use the sect's treasures as I wish. To me, you two are natural enemies."
Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong suppressed their rage. This betrayer of his own masters!
"My two senior brothers are formidable, but let's wear them down with the Wolf Soul Killing Array and the Gu insects. We'll make our move when we are fully assured," said Chen Zhaofeng with a faint smile.
"Very well, Senior Brother Chen," the lead Gu Master nodded respectfully.
The three Gu Masters from Ironwire Mountain then released various Gu into the array. No matter how strong Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong were, they couldn't withstand such a tidal onslaught. Their trump cards were dwindling, their Spiritual Qi was drying up, and their injuries were multiplying.
As for Zhou Yu, several Ironwire Worms had already burrowed into his body, his complexion turning deathly pale.
The observers focused their eyes and were stunned to see a towering, muscular corpse demon. With a single punch, it had exploded the head of a Foundation Establishment cultivator—an undoubtedly powerful corpse general!
Seeing the two Gu Masters killed instantly, the lead Gu Master's eyes blazed with fury. Unlike the self-destructing Gu Master, these two were his junior brothers, with whom he had shared daily life. The bond they had was not easily dismissed.
"I will kill you!" The lead Gu Master stomped the ground ferociously, darting forward rapidly. With his hands glowing red with intense power, he thrust them toward Chu Xuan, unleashing a flurry of red palm strikes that descended like rain.
However, this was not his true killing move. Hidden within the red palm prints were three Ironwire Worms, aimed directly at Chu Xuan's vital points for a deadly strike!
Bang, bang, bang!
The red palm strikes relentlessly pounded the ground, yet not a single one grazed Chu Xuan's clothing. To Li Xuanming, Liu Zhenxiong, and Zhou Yu, Chu Xuan seemed like a fierce wind—completely untouchable.
"Such incredible speed, is this the Yin Evil Escape?" Liu Zhenxiong exclaimed in astonishment.
Li Xuanming watched in awe. Where did Chu Xuan find so much Yin Evil Qi to freely perform the Yin Evil Escape each time, which consumed a considerable amount of energy with each use?
Whoosh!
A streak of red suddenly flashed.
In just an instant, it split two of the sturdy Ironwire Worms in half and devoured them. Before the third worm could strike Chu Xuan, it was blocked by a blood-red shadow—none other than the Blood Evil Shadow.
The streak swept out again, similarly slicing the third worm in half. In the blink of an eye, the formidable attack of the Foundation Establishment stage fifth-layer Gu Master was swiftly neutralized by Chu Xuan.
"It's my turn now."
Chu Xuan casually gestured, and the Evil Soul Chain shot out. The chain soul, Huikong, burst forth with a deafening roar, attacking the Gu Master's mind and causing a momentary shutdown.
In that brief moment, the Chain like a massive black python completely wrapped around the Gu Master's neck and tightened securely. With a crisp snap, the head was severed from the body. The head flew through the air, eyes still wide in shock.
The lingering thoughts of the Gu Master struggled to comprehend. The last time they fought Chu Xuan was barely able to defend himself, yet now he had effortlessly retaliated and killed him. In just a few months, Chu Xuan's growth had been terrifyingly rapid; he needed to be eliminated quickly...
But no words would come out anymore. Darkness and cold enveloped him completely.
